Summer Camps 2016

 

Download the paper registration form or select the Register button below next to the class you want.

Send form to 5317 E. Speedway Blvd, Tucson, AZ 85712 or call the Education Office at (520) 327-0160.

 

Live Theatre Workshop's summer camps are a one week music, theatre, dancing, and technical theatre experience. Everyday students will work with a choreographer on two to three dance numbers, a vocal coach on musical theatre style singing, and with professional teaching artists who will lead them through the process of producing a play. All students will be assigned a role and will learn acting technique and theatre skills through the process of rehearsing their character for a final performance of their play and musical numbers. Camps are arranged by age and grade level-all skill levels are welcome. All of our instructors are trained to introduce and teach in a way that makes the entire experience fun and educational in a safe and low-pressure environment. While students will be very busy learning lines, acting, singing, dancing, building sets, and producing their play; there is plenty of time for acting improvisation and theatre games. Our goal here at LTW is to focus on the process of the putting together a production. We feel all students should understand what it takes to put on a show from start to finish with a focus on teamwork, personal responsibility, friendships, and thinking outside of the box

Who could have guessed when we first embarked on the Barrio Stories Project two years ago that it would lead to such an incredible city-wide collaborative process.

  • Tucson Unified School District is bussing in over 1000 high school and middle school students enrolled in Culturally Relevant Curriculum classes thanks to the efforts of TUSD governing board members Kristel Foster, Cam Juarez, and CRC directors Maria Federico-Brummer and Lorenzo Lopez.
  • Our scenic design became a significant class assignment for two scenic design classes at Pima Community College West Campus thanks to our scenic designer and Pima instructor, Wesley Creigh.
  • Established organizations like Los Decendientes del Precidio de Tucson, YWCA of Southern Arizona, and Cholla High School Drama Department are providing the bulk of the 75 extras needed for the production.
  • TPAC 2015 Lumie Award winner Linda Cato's art students at Changemaker High School are making all the signage and 1000 paper flowers for Barrio Stories.

Help us make Barrio Stories a 100% Donation Based Event

We are working round the clock to make sure everyone who wants to see Barrio Stories, can do so without any financial obstacles. This is why we have started an Indiegogo crowdsourcing campaign to underwrite tickets for the 1000 TUSD students and anyone else who would otherwise not have the money to buy a ticket. Ticket sales are the lifeblood of a theatre company. They pay for all the administrative costs (staff salaries, office space, utilities, insurance, equipment, supplies) that project grants do not. Without this income, no matter how many grants we receive, Borderlands would come to a grinding halt.

 

We're betting that caring individuals with means will make it possible for EVERYONE to enjoy this landmark event. This RADICAL HOSPITALITY process was developed by Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis four years ago. We are excited to implement this compassion based idea in order to bring new audiences to the theatre. (Read article on Radical Hospitality here

Casting call: Big Fat Cat Productions LLC is seeking a female child actor ages 7 through 10

-----Original Message-----
From: Yaedi Ignatow [mailto:yaedi@aol.com]
Sent: Friday, February 5, 2016 9:46 AM
REPLY TO: bigfatcatproductionsllc@gmail.com

Casting call: Big Fat Cat Productions LLC is seeking a female child actor
ages 7 through 10. Adult supervision would be required at audition and at
the 3 hour shoot which would take place inside the Loft Theatre on Saturday
the 27th of February from 8am to 11am.

This is a "green screen" shoot with a green screen set up in stage in front
of which the actors would execute the scene. At least one rehearsal will be
needed prior.

The scene contains no profanity or questionable material whatsoever. The
child's character is that of a science brainiac who is carrying a clipboard
and a large book containing the events that will take place in the life of
her co-actor- who is about to be a college age Freshman astronomy major
with a 4 year scholarship.

The scene is about 5 to 7 minutes long and is a dream that the older girl is
having.

She is very torn as to whether to take the scholarship money since her heart
is in music. She and the younger girl are walking around large planets
which will be created later digitally- and she is being asked by the
younger girl what notes they are each emitting.

The older girl is wrong each time and is feeling like an idiot. She gets a
lecture from the younger girl on the Music of the Spheres theory which
Pythagoras came up with and the large book is thrown at her- in which it
says that "her life will be beautiful and filled with music." She is upset
and does not believe it.

The younger actress we need cannot be too tall as the older girl is about 5'
2". Also it would be helpful if the younger girl had dark hair and had a
Latina or slightly Latina appearance. This is to match up with the older
girl's best friend who will appear at the window tapping to wake up the
older girl from the dream. The older girl feels that her friend as a child
(they've grown up together) has been the one lecturing her.

PLEASE SEND A HEADSHOT OR ANY SNAPSHOT IS FINE WITH RESUME IF YOUR CHILD HAS
ONE TO: bigfatcatproductionsllc@gmail.com. The child should have an
extroverted and precocious personality to come across as pushy. The older
girl is the opposite. Please feel free to call as well: 520-282-9915.
Thank you for your consideration. There will be no pay but the specific
scene will be uploaded for you, once edited- onto a CD and the entire film
will be given to you on a CD as well but that will not be until 2017. The
film will be submitted to the Hamptons International Film Festival among
others for 2017 consideration.

If you are interested in showcasing work, please contact zuzisphere@gmail.com, Attn: "No Frills" or call (520) 629-0237. If you are unsure which performance is most appropriate for your choreography, we will help you figure it out.
